INTRODUCTION. 

1. The "Science of Biography" is a new one in the lists of 

Sciences; — there are two classes of Sciences, however: in general 

these may be called the EXACT Sciences and the PSEUDO Sciences. 

The first class, which is comparatively small, comprises those which 

treat of exact and definite subjects, and which arrive at demonstrable 

laws and mathematical results. The second class, which is very large, 

deals with more or less assumed theories or hypotheses, and leads 

to supposed conclusions and often to conjectural, biased and question- 
able opinions. 

The "Science of Biography" belongs to the EXACT branch of the 
above mentioned classes, as it deals with natural facts of physical 
phenomena, and leads to demonstrable laws and conclusions, which 
may be proved up by any one who will take the necessary trouble 
to make the required experiments and tests, although, the proofs 
must vary by a large "personal" factor, which does not obtain in the 
usual experiments about physiological phenomena: — one of the best 
ways of proving these results is by the comparison of the records of 
the World's Biographies: in fact, that is one reason why the chosen 
name has been taken. 

This small book has several particular objects in view, first: to 
give a short and concise outline of the basic principles of the Science, 
and second: to assist in the preservation of records which, at present 
are very largely neglected, and which in the near future will be 
regarded as of vast importance. The principles given here are 
sufficient to interest most people at a glance, but it may be noted 
that a broad idea of this science requires much study and research 
into the records of the remarkable people of history. 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

Another direct object is to practically utilize the extensive amount 
of valuable information which is presented in the biographical re- 
cords of the worlds history; — this information extends in several 
directions, relative to the development of educational advantages 
toward leading young people to learn their particular natural en- 
dowments, before wasting some years, frequently, in directions of 
endeavor, which they are not naturally adapted to, and can never 
succeed in, however hard they may try. It may also be the entering 
wedge toward an exactly scientific method of calibrating the difficult 
Phase of Vital Energy. It took some forty or fifty years to measure 
Heat Energy, and nearly as much more to arrive at a method of 
measuring the Electric current, — but there is no reason why it should 
take so long to properly calibrate Vital Energy. The method given 
in this book is an empirical one, but based upon extensive study; 
while it may be lacking in some details, it is highly valuable as leading 
up to a more solid process, which will eventually surely obtain, as all 
branches of hygienic and eugenic sciences are tending toward such a 
result. 

This may seem highly conjectural to some conservative readers 
or thinkers, but that has been exactly the thoughts about every ad- 
vancing idea of modern science, since the dawn of human intelligence 
A few years from now, it will be considered just as necessary to pro- 
perly calibrate every child born, soon after birth as it is now consider- 
ed to have appropriate nursing and care for the introduction of new 
Elements of Vital Energy into the arena in which we live. Any 
person who understands a little about modern Physics and Electricity, 
can easily fully comprehend the presentations in this small intro- 
ductory volume for a new Science which will eventually be of untold 
value to the human race.

THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

"Not many generations ago, where we now live surrounded by all 
that exalts and embellishes civilized life, the rank thistle nodded in 
the wind and the wild fox dug his hole unscared": at that time, the 
vast continent of North America and perhaps South America too, 
was peopled by only a few nomadic savage tribes and semi civilized 
races. During the comparatively short period of two hundred years, 
this vast territory has taken on an entirely new aspect. This has been 
caused primarily by the terrific impetus of the European races, to 
seek greater freedom and security from the crushing influences of 
the remnants of the fedual days of the earlier autocratic govern- 
ments, assisted to an enormous extent by the growth of what we may 
call the scientific era of mankind; in this wonderful progress the im- 
portant part played by the artisan, the mechanic and the engineer 
needs no suggestion to verify. The invention of the locomotive and 
the utilization of power from the heat of coal, have been some of the 
greatest aids toward the great ends which have been attained. In 
fact, to day we live in a marvelous world of machinery of all kinds, — 
mechanical, electrical, etc.; scientific products of this great era, 
which is undoubtedly the greatest period of history. Today the busi- 
nessman, and citizens of all kinds, use the wonderful products of the 
mechanic in every branch of daily life. The machinery conveniences 
have really doubled or largely multiplied the capacities of each person. 
When we look at the huge locomotives, the enormous printing presses, 
the multifold machines which produce and utilize the electric current 
we are astounded at the marvels of these productions. Few people 
really understand the details of these great time savers and power 
multipliers; yet all intelligent citizens use these products. Any person 
can use the telephone or the wireless, whether they know anything 
about the basic principles of the construction of the machines which 
make these processes possible or not: all people ride on the trolley 
lines, and turn on the electric light and heat currents, whether they 
know anything about erectricity or not.

THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

The wonders of this machinery age are not limited to those who 
understand the machines which they operate: and we have now come 
to a time when even new wonders are to be added to the almost end- 
less category of utilitarian devices. A machine or small device has 
now been perfected, by which we can determine most marvelous ideas 
about the operation of that greatest piece of mechanism we know of, 
— which is the human mechanism. 

Few people will understand the basis of this small device, except 
after considerable study, — but like all of the other machines and de- 
vices, all people can practically use this device with many beneficial 
results. This device is The DYNAMIC ENERGRAPH, one of which 
should be ordered with this small book. This should be kept with the 
book, and those who desire can read of the general principles of the 
operation in the second and following chapters: but, any person can 
push the moving index on the small device and read the years of life 
in which great stresses will obtain in the life career of the person for 
which the small device is constructed, and by noting the coincidences 
of the lines on the stationary part with those on the moving wheel, 
and refering to the paragraphs which describe the general tendencies 
of each of these lines, can derive valuable advice about the conditions 
which are to obtain. 

THE DEVELOPMENT WHEEL 

On the Dynamic Energraph which should accompany this book 
will be found various lines some in black and some in red ink, — these 
lines are particularly placed for each person, in fact, no two people 
have the same lines. Each line is marked with a letter and number 
these are carefully calculated by the principles of the science, and the 
method of such calculations described in the following chapters. All 
that is necessary for any person to do, is to move the revolving part 
until two lines coincide and then read the scale of years, where the 
Index pointer indicates, and that gives the years of life when great 
vital changes will take place, depend upon which of the lines so 
coincide. Exactly what results will ensue, is beyond our present ca- 

—11— 



ENERGRAPHICS 

pacities to always interprets ; but the descriptions of the natures of 
the lines does give some idea of the general nature of such results. 
Those who are interested can study as closely into the Science as they 
please both in this book and by means of others which will shortly 
follow. The truth is, without any misrepresentation whatever, that 
the small device is one of the most marvelous discoveries ever made 
in this world of machine and scientific wonders. 

Of course, new and particularly wonderful ideas, mechanisms and 
devices have an uphill road to traverse during their early years, — it 
was so with the steam engine, the locomotive, the sewing machine, the 
trolley, the wireless and even the automobile: the ever credulous pub- 
lic look with suspicion upon all new ideas, so it took many years of 
strenuous labor to introduce even the most valuable achievements of 
the mechanical epoch: but even now, to tell some conservative people 
that we can calculate upon the operation of the human mechanism, 
and actually CALIBRATE the capacities and abilities of this marvel- 
ous structure, is only to excite their derision and disdain: but such 
effects fall like water on a duck's back, in the minds of the interested 
scientists of the age, whose mental apparatus is polished up by years 
of studious application. In the early part of the 19th century, Koenig, 
the inventor of the steam driven printing press was mobbed and driven 
out of London: at a little later date, Howe, the inventor of the sewing 
machine was laughed at and really had to work his way accross tihe 
Atlantic, because he could not get English capital interested in his 
labor saving device. Even in our own time, Edison was told that his 
small trolley line, might eventually become a nice toy or be used to 
convey people around at summer resorts as a curiosity and novelty. 
Conservatism is a necessary part of modern civilization, — although 
the present warlike aspect of the whole of Europe (1915, May) would 
not allow one to think so. But the Dynamic Energraph has come to 
stay, and is destined to play an important role in the present and fu- 
ture arena of scientific knowledge. For complete knowledge about such 
a device, the exceedingly small scale, as the ones in this book, greatly 
limits the value of the apparatus: they should be made eighteen or 
twenty inches in diameter, and then studied with great care, so as to 
derive proper conclusions, and not be misled by half based knowledge.

THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

2. A little over a hundred years ago, Benjamin Thompson, usually 
known in history as Count Rumford, one of the most remarkable men 
the world has ever known, said in reference to some investigations he 
was making about Heat: "Anything which can be produced in umlimi- 
ted amount from an insulated body or system of insulated bodies can 
not possibly be a material substance." He was calculating on the a- 
mount of Heat generated in boring out some cannons for one of the 
European Governments, and finding that the heat varied with the rate 
of speed of the cutting, was led to the idea that Heat is in some way 
connected with Motion. 

This was probably the commencement of what is now known to 
science as "The Modern Theory of Energy", and which is the foun- 
dation of much of the scientific work and teaching of today. This 
theory is a broad one but in general can be formulated in a few words, 
that "All physical manifestations are the operation of one basic cause 
or force, called Energy." 

Thus today, the scientist speaks of Heat as Heat Energy, of Light 
as Light Energy, of Electricity as Electric Energy, of mechanical ef- 
fects as Mechanical Energy, and so on throughout the whole range of 
wonderful phenomena which we see about us, or takes place in the 
physical universe. 

It has been the work of several decades of scientific investigation 
to determine the mutual relations of the different Phases of Energy 
as the various exhibitions are termed; so that, we now know the exact 
relations which exists between several of these phases. Thus, in re- 
gard to the connection between Heat Energy, and Mechanical Energy, 
is that Heat and Mechanical energy are mutually transformable; one 
Heat unit is evaluated as equal to 778 foot pounds of Mechanical 
Energy. In a similiar manner the relations between Electricity and 
Heat, between Chemical Energy and Electrical Energy, between Me- 
chanical Energy and Electricity are exatly known and numerically 
defined in every modern work on Physics. There are several phases, 
however, that are not so well defined, such as Radiatory Energy, Light 
Energy, and particularly Vital Energy, but during the past few years 
these phases have been extensively studied, and now it is evident that 
they are from the same general base, although tihe relations are much 
more complex and intricate. 

—13— 



ENERGRAPHICS 

A very good idea of the "status" of Vital Energy, as far as un- 
derstood up to about 1890, is given in one of the Appleton's Interna- 
tional Science Series, under the title of "The Conservation of Energy", 
by Prof. Balfour Stewart, of Owens College, Manchester, England, a 
widely known scientific author of the highest standing. Great disco- 
veries have been made since the above date, however, and particularly 
since the discovery of Radium and the Radio Active substances, which 
lead to some most wonderful conjectures and conclusions about the 
ultimate construction of Matter in general, and of the alliance of the 
Vital Phase with the other Phases of Ener; 

In the standard works on Physics of school and college are found 
various diagrams of Energy manifestations, such as pressure and vol- 
ume rectangular diagrams, as the Heat Indicator; and the spectrum 
of Light manifestations as formed by the use of defracting prisms and 
lenses, and with the spectroscope. These form the best yet known 
bases for determining the relation of Heat Energy, and of Light and 
Light and Radiatory Energy to the others. It is the object of Ener- 
graphics to investigate the relations of Vital Energy in a somewhat 
similar way. 

The Light Spectrum shows the seven so-called primative colors 
into which pure white light is converted by defracting prisms. If the 
white ligfht ray is allowed to pass through the vapors of various che- 
mical elements, certain dark lines called Frauenhauer lines are found 
in the spectrum. These lines are distinctive for each chemical element, 
and this furnishes the means of determining the composition oif 
various radiatory manifestations by the use of the spectroscope. 
During the past few years the Spectrum has been found to indicate 
rays of another quality which extend at each end of the Light 
Spectrum. These have been given the names of the Low Dark Rays 
at the red end, and the Ultra Violet Rays at the violet end. How far 
such indications extend are as yet unknown, but many most wonderful 
results have been obtained from some of these rays, such as from ra- 
dium, for instance. In all probability the scientific conclusion will soon 
be reached that all substances radiate Energy of some kind, and such 
will be defined by special devices. The total spectrum comprising 
what may be called the Energy Spectrum now being studied is a cir- 
cular disc of large diameter of which the Light Spectrum forms a 
part; black lines appear in various parts to indicate the location of 
the different streams or stresses of Energy radiations. 

Such a diagram may be called an Energy spectrum or Energraph, 
as it is a graphic representation of the location of Energy rays. This 
spectrum is of great importance in the study of the relations of Vital 
Energy to the other phases.

THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

Each person has a distinctive Energraph which determines his or 
her personality or personal characteristics. This can now be deter- 
mined by thoroughly scientific means and furnishes one of the best 
means of studying Vital Energy. 

This subject is really The Study of Human Nature, and is, of 
course, of interest to every person; there are but few comprehensive 
works upon the subject in all of the writings in the world's literature. 
This vast subject as presented now is in exact accordance with the 
wonderful advances in profound sciences made since the electricity and 
radiatory energy (have given such an impetus to deep investigations 
during the past twenty years. 

Energraphs can now be made for any person or child, and these 
explain many of the hitherto unknown mysteries about human nature 
in a thoroughly modern scientific manner. These are difficult of 
construction and can be made only by students of years of study; the 
prices are from $2 up, dependent upon the amount of detail work put 
upon them. Correspondence solicited from all people interested in 
this wonderful science, which will eventually develop into one of the 
most valuable of all the extensive range of modern thought. 

BASIS OF THE SCIENCE. 

3. Energraphics is based upon the fact that the huge Earth on 
which we live, is an enormous armature in a vast dynamic machine, — 
a vast energy generator: which acts much like the customary electric 
generators of modern utilitarian value. 

If we go into any modern electric light and power plant we find 
manyjteautiful machines, one part of which is revolving at a high rate 
of speed, we think for machinery; from one thousand to three thousand 
revolutions per minute, — this part is the ARMATURE of the electric 
generators. These armatures are simply bundles of copper wires, 
arranged in a most wonderful systematic complexity, — these rapidly 
revolving wires are making electric currents, due to the fact that they 
are traveling very fast in a magnetic field of force. Any book on 
electric machinery explains this wonderful result fully, and it is con- 
sidered very simple to the student f electricity. Well, — the huge 
Earth is much the same as the electric generator armature, except 
vastly more complex, — it is, in fact, a huge mass of metals and 
minerals, and all kinds of chemical compounds, revolving and also 

—15— 



ENERGRAPHICS 

moving bodily many hundred times faster than the wires on any 
electric generator, and in a field of force of enormously greater ten- 
sion than that of the magnetic field of any electric magnet: so, the 
result obtains that the surface of the Earth is at high condition of 
dynamic excitement or energy "potential", just the same relatively, 
as the wires are in, on the customary electric machine. It is the vari- 
ations in this energy potential which causes the manifestations on the 
Earth surface, and particularly metabolic and chemical activity. It 
is not necessary to put these facts into extensive numerical array, as 
the numbers would simply stagger the imagination of many readers, 
but a slight reference to some of these facts may concentrate the 
conception; it must be remembered also that it is not the object of 
tfiis science to go into study of these wonders, as they are so exten 
that we Mould be led away from the direct objects of this work. The 
Earth moves at the stupendous velocity of 18.4 miles per second, in 
its yearly travel, and something like a thousand feet per second in 
its daily revolution, — the terrific lightning in storms attest the high 
voltage of the electric currents in the atmosphere: the field of for 
reduced to pressures is something between 28,000 to 35,000 pounds 
per square inch, as calculated by the great scientists, and there are a 
number of these pressures or intensities, and they are changing at 
the rate of hundreds of pounds per second, at times. The fact is that 
the Earths surface and atmosphere is in a high condition of dynamic 
intensity, which changes second by second, hour by hour, day by day, 
and year by year. 

In the electric generator, there is but one current, which is caus- 
ed by the copper wires, — but in the huge Earth armature there are 
many currents from the eighty odd chemical elements, and which have 
been tabulated by many years of systematic observations. For simpli- 
city, we will at first regard these currents as all joined up under one 
systematic name and call it 

THE DYNETURE. 

4. This word is made up from the basic unit of force of the C. 
G. S. system of scientific units of universal use. The "dyneture" means 
the total Energy condition for any instant of time, the same perhaps 
as the word "temperature" means the heat energy condition. Dyne- 
ture includes ALL of the energy factors of the modern study of 
physics, — these are, heat, light, electric, gravity, mechnical, radia- 
tory, actinic, &c, which are treated of in the various branches of 
science, which are included in the curricula of scientific study in the 
magnificent schools and colleges throughout the civilized world. The 
study of Energraphics is the study of the DYNETURE, under a classi- 
fication somewhat different from that in usual physiological subjects 
but one adjusted to apply to the study of Vital Energy. 

—16— 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

THE ELEMENTS OF THE DYNETURE. 

5. The basis of the new classification of the different composing 
parts of the dyneture, is made up with regard to the locations of the 
vast field centers of energy, which create the field of force in which 
the Earth moves: there are nine of these enormous fields of great 
size and many hundreds of thousands of smaller or far distant centers 
the nine large ones we will call the A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and K, 
elements of the dyneture, — the others we will bulk together and des- 
cribe as the SECTIONS in which the others move, in a later part of 
the work. In the study of the elements of the dyneture, we will re- 
gard these parts as "energy stresses" in the field of force, and name 
them simply by the letters as above given. The dyneture is a very 
difficult condition to measure, and to do it we must resort to a 
graphic diagram, called the ENERGRAPH; — which is a polar diag- 
ram of the directions of the elements of the dyneture for any instant 
of time. For convenience the student may regard these as currents of 
electricity, if it is desired, but they are more complicated than the 
usual electric currents, and much more diffused and difficult to 
understand, — they are in truth, made up of all of the Phases of 
Energy of the physicist, and the term "Energy stresses" is a little 
more appropriate. 

6. AN ELEMENT OF VITAL ENERGY is any zoolite, plant, 
tree, animal, or any human being, — in fact any individual system, 
which operates as a separate specimen of energy involution. During 
the past one hundred years of scientific advancement, the progress of 
evolutionary ideas about the wonders of nature has been exten- 
sive; so much, so that the theories of the earlier times have been 
developed by such work as those of Darwin, Haekel, Mendel, and many 
others, until today it is not only possible to trace the evolution of the 
animal species with approximate exactness, but to easily recognize 
that all of the endless category of phenomena of natural law, are 
toward some marvelous end about which we can but little conjecture, 
— but, it all seems to tend toward some definite purpose and pro- 
ject, and that each individual is a part of the system leading to 
some particular purpose in the vast scheme of nature. 

—17— 



ENERGRAPHICS 

In this light, each person or child, or individual specimen of vital 
energy, must live in consistence with the laws of natural phenomena, 
and in fact is a part and parcel of the field of force in which it 
lives. Thus, each element of vital energy is a static involution of all 
of the energy factors, and may be scientifically defined as a Function 
of the dyneture. By this means each person is a chronological energy 
function of a highly complex character; and the physi-ological mani- 
festations of any individual is a combined function of two dynetures. 
By the means of the Energraph we can determine the dynetures at 
various times, and thus segregate each individual for specific study 
and comparsion with the records of history. Such a process may seem 
highly complex at first sight or contemplation of the subject, but is 
a necessary part of any investigation of the wonders of natural laws. 

THE LAW OF VITAL INVOLUTION 

7. There have been many attempts to ally Vital Energy with 
other forms or phases, particularly with electric manifestations, as 
the muscles of animals are notably effected by galvanic currents or 
electric charges, — the results in this respect have not been of any 
extensive success, which is possibly on account of the fact that Vital 
Energy is amenable to, or a function of, another dimension than iB 
included in the electric or other phases. This function is the TIME 
element. 

Any vital system may be considered as a very delicately adjusted 
chemical, thermal, electric motor, — and it operates under t?he varia- 
tions of the Earths dyneture: — and again, there are peculiarities of 
individuality which are so prominent that we never find two elements 
of vital Energy exactly alike in all particulars. 

In any electric plant where there are several generators, if the 
engineer in charge is oprating one heavy circuit by several machines, 
and wishes to add another machine into the circuit, he starts up the 
new machine, and brings its voltage up to that existing in the circuit, 
before he can connect it into the line with the other machines; — this 
is the invariable practice in all electric plants. Now, — that is exactly 
what Nature does in the introduction of new elements of Vital Energy 
into the field of force which exists on the surface of the Earth; — it 
starts up the new element and brings it up to the dyneture which 
obtains at a certain TIME, before it introduces the new element into 
the terrific field of dynamic activity, in which it is to live. This 

—18— 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

instant of time which is chosen by the wonderful laws of nature, is 
the important new Dimension, which is involved in the new element 
of vital energy, and which causes it to be often very different tihan 
any other element of the same general kind. Thus, we may consider 
any new born element of vital energy as a static or fixed charge of 
vital energy, and the dyneture of the instant of birth is the measure 
of the primary charge: — now, by means of the Energraph, we can 
evaluate this condition of force, and thereby obtain a basis for com- 
parison of all kinds of units of vital energy in the dynamic arena in 
which we live. This idea has prevailed through untold thousands of 
years, in the minds of students, but as they had no ideas, whatever 
about scientific matters in general, and about electric elements in par- 
ticular, most of their deductions from such a primary basis, have been 
led off into the vast domain of superstitions and mysterious whims r 
which afflicted the world previous to the modern scientific age. This 
idea has long been practically admitted by all physicians for many 
years, as they do not regard a "still birth" as ever having been a 
an element of vital energy: it is lacking in the vastly important sta- 
tic charge of vital power which endows with actual life.By this law 
of involution, we obtain a basic evaluation of this primary individual- 
izing static charge, and by means of the Energraph we can make a 
diagram for careful examination and study. 

After birth the dyneture of the Earths surface goes on changing, 
— if the static charge is a strong one, in the case of a child, this or- 
ganization is strong enough to live many years ; — if it is a weak one, 
then it succumbs to the trying conditions of dyneture changes, and 
is exterminated after a few years. It has now been only a few cen- 
turies since Galileo, and Sir Isaac Newton introduced the ideas of 
Gravitation, and the past one hundred years of scientific applications 
have taught us much about the vast field of force in which we live, — 
by the understanding of the Law of Involution, we can now try to 
consider ourselves as evident parts of the great Earth on which we 
live. These ideas need not necessarily interfere with the orthodox 
ideas of the human kind, but are to be regarded as simply defining 
the physiological status of each individual element of vital energy. 

—19— 



ENERGRAPHICS 

THE LAW OF DEVELOPMENT 

8. The static charge of vital energy may be considered as some- 
what like a magnetic condition produced by a permanent magnet upon 
another piece of steel, that the decided elements of power are confered 
slowly in their entirety, but the basic primary dyneture is the vastly 
important part. For the first few years of life the new element ex- 
pands and develops, in accordance with the ever changing dyneture 
of the Earth, say for twenty years, or so before the new unit has 
become a fully developed specimen; then for about forty years, it 
continues to exercise its functions among the myriads of others of the 
same kind, — and then, the vital power gradually diminishes, until 
the prevalent dyneture becomes of a greatly different character; then 
the law of Evolution obtains and the element disappears from the 
zoological arena. When by means of the Earth motion the dyneture 
changes become very great, the new element becomes ill or sick, and 
when very great changes of dyneture obtain, then Evolution takes 
place, — the details of which are carried out in manifold very won- 
derful ways of natural laws. In all this marvelous process, the edu- 
cational and physical parts are toward what we may call a systema- 
tized development toward the ultimate vast scheme of nature, of which 
the greatest of human minds can but faintly conjecture. From a purely 
practical scientific standpoint, the best we can do is to try to under- 
stand as much about the field of force in which we live as we possibly 
can, and to adjust ourselves to those natural conditions. 

9. TIME AS A DIMENSION. In the study of the Science of 
Biography, time is to be considered as a measure or dimension by 
which we can gauge or evaluate the conditions of vital energy. In 
physics, chemistry, mechanics, and the numerous sciences, time is 
regarded as simply duration, — but in the study of vital energy, it 
is the TIME which is also the gauge of physiological conditions. In the 
excellent courses of study at the schools and colleges, all kinds of 
tests and physical experiments can be made whenever the student 
desires as long as the details are carried out, — but in the tests and 
observations about vital energy, — the time element is of the utmost 
importance. This is very definitely demonstrated by the numerous 
changes in feelings which overtake us any day of our lives, in fact, 
it is little probable that we feel exactly the same during any two 
instants of time throughout our whole lives. The result naturally 
obtains that we must be very careful in making our experiments about 

—20— 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

vital energy, — and in deriving just conclusions from the observa- 
tions. The general method of this study is to make an Energraph of 
the time of birth of any person whose record we have, and then com- 
pare the physiological actions with the indications of the diagram, 
at the various important periods of their lives, — this is at first sight, 
somewhat of a tedious process, — but, we can remember that the 
subject is well worth most careful and serious attention, as we shall 
find particulars about individual characteristics, which are not open 
to investigation from any other sources of information. Many people 
are of the opinion in general that mankind is running the Earth to 
suit his own particular ends, and this may be so to a slight extent, 
— but, the records of history most firmly prove that the only way 
to understand the peculiarities of human action, is to regard them as 
compromises between the desires of the person and the dyneture 
which exists at the place where the person is located, when the stress 
periods obtain in his own vital development. Vital elements are time 
functions, and controlled only by the stress periods which obtain due 
to the dynamic conditions which are ever changing as the Earth tra- 
vels in its stupenduous orbit, and daily revolution. 

The first step however, is to understand the method of construe^ 
ting the Energraph. -^^ 

HOW TO CONSTRUCT THE ENERGRAPH 

10. If we were to investigate the operation of an electric gene- 
rator or dynamo, the first step would be to make a drawing of the lo- 
cations of the centers of magnetic flux, relative to the motion of the 
armature, — this is done by passing a plane through the armature 
perpendicular to the axis, and passing through the poles of the field 
magnets, — to the electrician this is simple enough; and is particu- 
larly simple, for the field magnets are in fixed locations and the tra- 
vel of the armature is at right angles to the fields of magnetic force. 
To apply the same principle to the huge dynamo is not quite so simple 
as the orbit of the Earth armature is not perpendicular to the loca- 
tions of the fields, and the Earth has two motions instead of one of 
the ordinary generator: — however to make the proposition as simple 
as possible, we will make a drawing representing the orbit of the 
Earth, and project it upon the plane of the Ecliptic, which is in reality 
the central plane of Inertia of the whole system. This is represented 
by the outside circle of the diagram, — now, divide this into 365.25 
equal parts, which we can call days or lines for convenience, and is 

—21— 



ENERGRAPHICS 

sufficiently accurate to represent the Earths travel for the large mo- 
tion of the Earth around the Sun, which corresponds to the days of the 
year, commencing at the First of January for the top of the circle: 
in this shape the 21st of March, when we say the Sun crosses the line, 
is the line Number 80, and is marked on the figure. This point is 
really where the Earth armature is on the 21st on March. Now, com- 
mencing at this point for convenience we will divide the circle into 
twelve SECTIONS of 30, 4375, equal parts; and note particularly that 
these are not in degrees, but in lines of the Energraph, or days of the 
year. Next, go to the large Public Libraries and find the Nautical 
Almance for the year, for which we wish to construct the Energraph. 
In these you will find the locations of the large members of the huge 
dynamic machine, — this data is there given in the Right Ascensions 
and Declinations. Reduce this data to the plane of the Ecliptic, and 
locate each one of these as the centers of dynamic stresses in the 
Energraph, commencing at the line as the zero. This gives the lo- 
cation of the nine large magnetic and gravitational centers of the huge 
magnetic machine, — that is the lines A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and K. 
When the date of birth is given, only by the day, this is all the data 
required, — but when the exact time of day is known, — and that is 
of importance in close calculations, it is necessary to fix the lines I 
and M, as two locations which shows the position of the Earth in its 
diurnal revolution. The line I. in such a complete diagram, represents 
the location of the Eastern Horizon at the exact instant of birth, at 
which point the TWO motions of the Earth armature coincide, both 
being directly to the East. The line M is the location of the meridian 
of the place of observation, in this book, as we know only the dates 
of the day of birth, it is not possible to locate the I and M lines. This 
is so usually, in the study of biographical records, as the time of 
day or night is not known, and can not be authentically determined. 
But, in the data of a child this information can usually be obtained 
from the parents. 

Suppose we had a dynamo or generator in which the fields were 
not fixed, but which travelled around the armature in the same di- 
rection in which the armature revolves, then the study of the varia- 
tions of potentials of the surface of the armature, would be exactly 
the same condition which we must interprete for the variations of the 
dyneture in the huge dynamic machine. 

—22— 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

Again, as the Earth armature is one of the moving centers of the 
solar system, it causes the periodic travels of the other field centers 
to be particularly peculiar and apparently irregular, but these mo- 
tions are exactly determined in any fairly good book on Astronomy. 

11. RELATIVE POSITIONS OF THE FIELD CENTERS. The 
first important thing to note about the lines of the Energraph is the 
relative locations of the Field lines. These lines represent the very 
large centers of magnetic flux of the enormous radiatory members of 
the huge machine. The strongest position two of these lines can be in, 
is at One hundred and twenty one lines apart, either way, that is, 
exactly at one hundred and twenty degrees. Such a relative position 
is known as the TRIPHASE arcs, and are marked in the Energraph, 
by small arcs in which is the word "Triphase". When such relative 
positions are numerous, it is a very definite indication of marked 
ability of character of some kind of the person whose static dyneture 
is being studied. All Triphases are remarkably strong in excellent 
effects of power. 

12. The next item to note, is lines which are in CONJUNCTION 
or close together, when within about ten degrees or lines, tihey are 
very strong and have effects upon the general dyneture, to a very 
marked effect, — but the results may be either good or detrimental, 
being dependent upon which of the lines compose the conjunction. 
Some of the Fields are of positive or advantageous nature and some 
are of a negative or detrimental nature, these can only be determined 
by the small table given later, in which these combinations are repre- 
sented. 

13. The next important relative position is the OPPOSITION, 
which is when two lines are directly radially opposite to each other, — 
such a position naturally indicates a clashing of the two currents 
from the two fields, — this is usually very detrimental but occasionally 
such an opposition is of high benefit. 

14. The next relative position is the NEUTRAL one, or two 
lines at ninety degrees or about ninety one lines apart, such positions 
are always detrimental as it indicates a condition of neutrality, when 
one line is force, the other is at the neutral zone of the huge machine. 

15. The other and last relative position is the TRIPHASE to the 
Opposition or SUBTRIPHASE to the current. This position is usually 
beneficial; but, is dependent upon which of the currents are conside- 
red. 



ENERGRAPHICS 




Figure A 



16. These RELATIVE POSITIONS ARE SHOWN, in Figure I, 
on this page. Now, — following out these relative positions 
each way from any current, there are in reality, eight locations of 
relative value, for each location on the Energraphic diagram. These 
are, — First, TWO TRIPHASES; Second, ONE OPPOSITION. Next, 
TWO NEUTRALS, and lastly TWO SUBTRIPHASES. The determi- 
nation of these positions constitute the most important mathematical 
part of the study.

THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE ELEMENTS 
OF THE DNETURE. 

17. In paragraph 10, we have spoken of the lines of the Ener- 
graph as lettered in any diagram as "the Elements of the Dyneture". 
Now, each one of these has it's own distinctive special characteristics, 
as regards its magnetic flux or stress radiation, — just the same as 
would obtain in a generator, if the fields were all of different construction 
and capacity. In this science it is necessary to interprete these both 
as the basis of strength and of personal characteristics. Each line of 
the Energraph varies greatly in output of stress, dependent upon two 
primary facts, — these are; first, the location in the circle, and se- 
condly upon the time it occupies the positions of greatest time value 
in the diurnal motion. Both factors can be exactly numerically esti- 
mated from high scientific authorities, — but this book is too small 
to undertake the task here; — it will here suffice to say that each line 
varies in strength in each line of the circle. For simplicity, we will 
call these lines the FIELD CURRENTS, and give a verbal idea of 
their interpretation for use in the study of the diagram. These will be 
described by the customary electric terms, and then a short verbal 
interpretation given of the effects upon elements of vital energy. 
Some of these currents are too high or powerful for the requirements 
of human life, — others are too low to produce the best results toward 
human vitality, — it is the grand average which produces the best 
results. 

THE "A" LINE or CURRENT. 

18. A positive high voltage current; broad, greatly diffused am- 
perage. In general, leading to greatly beneficial results in the demands 
of vital life. When this line is in a strong position in any Energraph, 
it causes people to take great interest in the affairs of government 
and of controlling others: such people become natural orators and 
public speakers and they rise to prominent places as leaders of the 
community in which they live. The TRIPHASE of A to D, qualifies 
men as clergymen, statesmen, rulers of all kinds, who have the real 
interests of their people at heart. They are fond of ostentation and 
ceremony and display of the elements of power, and have a high app- 
reciation of the value of good conduct, both in themselves and in that 
of others. In general, the A current leads to Authority and Adminstra- 

—25— 



ENERGRAPHICS 

tive faculties. In the Tabular form given in paragraph 43 the nume- 
rical values near 100 denote the places where the A current is parti- 
cularly strong. Any person who has this line in close Triphase to any 
other line is sure to become prominent in the community. 

THE " B " LINE 

19. A Negative, Low Voltage, Broad Amperage, current. The 
voltage being too low for the conditions of human life, so it is the 
cause of lack activity, or vitality. Usually leads to Conservative, sec- 
retive, cautions, careful, tendencies, and when in a strong place in the 
Energraph may cause deceitful, cruel, crafty people who take any 
advantage of their surroundings. This current is nevertheless a deci- 
dedly powerful one as can be discerned by the records of history. It 
often is a quite beneficial to BALANCE the high activities of some 
of the particularly high voltage currents, such as the E or K currents, 
but it is a sad draw back to the good effects of some of the more ge- 
nerous qualities of the A and D, or F lines. The general tendencies 
of this line may be taken as the meaning of the word BALANCE, 
BACKWARDNESS, &c. 

THE "C" LINE. 

20. A Positive, weakly intermittent voltage, broad weak Amper- 
age. A beneficial weakly current which dominates the ever changing 
public mind: not strenuous enough to produce large effects, but a 
goodly well intentioned effect toward general agreement and good 
will. This current when given a high value in the Table of paragraph 
43 leads toward geniality, generousity, careless goodly activity and 
fondness for the pleasant not over strenuous affairs of life. When 
given a low numerical value is indicative of questionable associations 
and low company. Those who have the Triphases of C with other lines 
make good salesmen, clerks, and employed people in general who 
depend upon the goodwill of others to hold up to the necessary discip- 
line of business. The C line may be known as the COLLECTING or 
Congregating line which often joins up other more strenuous currents. 

THE " D " LINE. 

21. Positive, Moderate Voltage, Moderate Amperage. A highly 
beneficial current of great and goodly effects, seldom going to ex- 
trems unless it be in the love of genorosity and charity. When in weak 
numerical value, it may lead to hypocricy and the assumption of 

—26— 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

greater power than really possessed. Those who have the D line in Tri- 
phase or even in conjunction with others usually rise easily to high 
positions through their the fair-minded tendencies which they possess, 
— they are careful, somewhat conservative and cautious, and desiri- 
ous of being deservingly good citizens who dislike strenuous conditions 
and who really admire the honorable, honest, straight forward .elements 
of life. Such people make the greatest lawyers and statesmen, judges, 
bankers, clergy, and those of high principles, although not often the 
most potent either in actual power r wealth, as they are not selfish 
enough to conserve what naturally comes to them: They are fond of 
Dignities, honors, and preferencies of a distinguishing type and par- 
ticularly love the goodly things of life in a reasonable modest manner. 
The word by which to easily remember this current is Dignity, De- 
ference, Deportment, and these words carry success in the immediate 
effects of their bearing. 

THE "E" LINE. 

22. Positive, very high Voltage, Small or narrow Amperage. The 
active executive current which carries out the orders of the larger 
powers currents like A, B, and D, This gives great concentration and 
elements of activity, endows with great nerves, and decision necessary 
to carry projects to immediate and effective results. Knows no fear 
or backwardness, in fact, too much carelessness and lack of caution. 
Frequently causes high and quick temper and leads to rows and quar- 
rels and fights of all kinds. When of high numerical value in an Ener- 
graph, it indicates people of courage and daring and executive capa- 
city, — Often even "Daring the dubble reputation even unto cannons 
mouth". This current qualifies people for soldiers, sailors, physicians, 
surgeons, butchers, artisans of all classes, whose success depend upon 
their doing things regarless of the judgement in their work. It can 
also naturally be inferred that such people are sooner or later in dire 
difficulties and often distress, — they do not mind these little diffi- 
culties however, seriously, and can endure almost any suffering with 
great equinimity. Leads to almost certain failures due to too much 
activity or Excesses. The words to remember this line is are Executive, 
Excessiveness, Effervesence, etc. 

—27— 



ENERGRAPHICS 
THE " F " LINE. 

23. Slightly negative, moderate voltage, narrow Amperage. A 
goodly current slightly below the requirements of vital life, yet very 
intense in it's ultimate effects, and leading to the better sides of care- 
fulness and caution, and great regard for fear and apparent danger, 
yet when fully aroused leads to great deeds of heroism and endurance. 
This current is the one which leads to the important finer qualities 
of human life, and may appropriately be termed the Feminine current, 
as it causes all of the exquisite refined qualities of friendship, and 
love, of the purest type, regardless of the consequences or from ele- 
ments of judgement or social status. This current is one of the most 
important in all aspects of human life, and although often apparently 
weak and ineffective, it still underlies the great elements of both fa- 
mily business and social success; and often gives great artistic and 
musical power, love of fine arts, and the beautiful in apparance and 
modesty in action. This current may be called the Finer quality line; 
the Feminine line; or the fruitful line; or the line of fertility. 

THE "G" LINE. 

24. This current is of a double kind, being positive when pro- 
perly allied with the positive lines, and negative when allied with the 
strongly negative lines; Voltage moderate but of great rapidity or 
frequency; narrow or weak amperage. The is the line of acquisitive- 
ness, both of wordly goods, wealth and of mental acquisition. It is a 
very important line to the business man who has need of quick judge- 
ment and rapid insight, — the line of shrewdness, business intutition, 
quick and accurate judgement. It may properly be called the Gainful 
or even the Graft line as it leads both to money making power, and 
to the ability to utilize information so as to gain, by botih ability and 
luck. When this line is of high numerical power in the Table, it indi- 
cates the capacity to make money, and to gain knowlege in all ways, 
dependent on quickness of perception. When allied with the negative 
lines it leads to deceptions of a rather course quality, and is one of 
the strong qualities of the gambler, thief and robber. 

The beneficial qualities of this line are also of a high quality 
leading to the acquisition of knowledge, and causes people to become 
successful authors, journalists, lawyers, and all kinds of literary and 
professional abilities. This line never gets but a little ways, about 
30 lines from the A line, — but usually the further away it is, the 
better for clear accurate, thinking and writing qualities. When of low 
evalution it indicates people who are too honest to really take what 
they are expected to, by those who understand the conditions of busi- 
ness activity. 

— 28— 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

THE "H" LINE. 

25. A very low negative, low amperage, and voltage, and of 
narrow range. Usually causes the Exceptional and unexpected in many 
ways; it may be called the Harrowing or nervous line, as it causes the 
peculiarities of the nervous system, in all probability, and leads people 
to have strange unordinary ideas, about some of the most usual 
conditions of life. This current leads to all kinds of reforms, inven- 
tions, new strange projects, and in general to the exceptional and 
little thought of elements of human existence. This line endows with 
great ability, but often with little power of practically utilizing the 
results of their ingenuity. Produces reformers, inventors, teachers, 

artists, musicians, geniuses of all kinds, who really think quite dif- 
ferently than most people. Sometimes this line in alliance with the 
great power of A, or D, usually in Triphase, leads to most extraordi- 
nary beneficial results, — but when in conjunction or at opposition, 
or in neutral places, it leads to most crushing failures and sadnesses. 

THE "K" LINE. 

26. Positive, extremely high voltage, and low weak amperage 
of very narrow range. This line is the extreme executive line of ter- 
rific violence, and endows with the power to carry out any settled or 
fixed intention, however dire the results may be. For a short descrip- 
tion of this current it may be called the Criminal line to be slightly 
alliterative in sound. It is the line of no hesitation or fear regardless 
of results, and is usually found in a prominent place in those who have 
to face extreme dangers, such as explorers, adventurers, soldiers of 
fortune, and similiar extreme classes of occupations; which however 
f ten, break the ice for those who accept the idea that the trade fol- 
lows the flag. This line has but little range, but three or four degrees, 
to be marked in effects, but when in such positions usually becomes 

a very important element in the life of the person. When in oppo- 
sition or neutral to other lines, this line is a danger indicator of certain 
value. In the Energraphs of people who have been assassinated, the 
K, line is almost always in neutral or opposition to some important line 
their Energraph. 

IMPORTANT. 

27. It must be clearly understood that the short descriptions 
given here are but a very concise view of the capacities of each of 
the lines of the Energraphic diagram, — as the indications from these 

—29— 



ENERGRAPHICS 

nine lines really cover all of the wonderful qualities of the effects 
of the dyneture upon the human brain. Each description could well 
be small chapter, by those who have great command of language, — 
but, it is hoped that the reader will get the general drift of the sub- 
ject as given above. Again, each line has particular effects upon cer- 
tain parts of the human mechanism and thus leads to the various 
diseases whidh afflict all people sooner or later in the journey of 
life, though the terrific field of Force in which we live. 

THE SECTIONS. 

28. The next subject of investigation is to arrive at an opinion 
why the currents vary in values in the different parts of the Ener- 
graphic circle. The idea is based on dividing the travel of the huge 
Earth Armature into TWELVE equal parts, as purely a 
matter of convenience, and the general character of each of the SEC- 
TIONS is derived from the general electrical aspect of the circle of 
revolution of the armature in the ordinary generator. 

FIRST SECTION. 

29. This commences at the Negative Pole of the Earth yearly 
orbit, which is the line: the following 30.43 lines in the direction 
that the hands of a watch move are rapidly moving away from the 
negative pole, and the magnetic flux vories directly as the Sine of the 
angle moved through. At this position the Sines are increasing rapidly 
in value; accordingly the first SECTION is a place of rapidly chang- 
ing values, the wires of the armature leaving the negative polar 
center with rapid motion. Accordingly we can consider that Energ- 
raphs having strong lines in the space from 80 to 110, lines or days, 
that energraph is indicative of many changeable Events as the dyne- 
tures are decreasing rapidly from the lowest negative status of the 
line. 

SECOND SECTION. 

30. The second section extends for the next 30.43 lines and the 
rates of changing dynetures has assumed a more fixed or little chang- 
ing character, — so this section may in general be called a fixed or 
non rapid changing place for a general idea of the dyneture condition. 
Accordingly, people having strong lines in this locality, are of a more 
stable and fixed average. This Section covers the lines from 110 to 
141 approximately. 

—30— 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

THIRD SECTION. 

31. This section is a rather weak or common place position as 
the armature wires are now approaching the Neutral Zone, where 
the Negative flux will assume a positive character. Energraphs show- 
ing strong lines in this Section are therefore of a weakly negative 
character, little suited for strenuous conditions. This space covers 
the lines from 141 to 171 approximately. 

FOURTH SECTION. 

32. The wires have now crossed the Neutral Zone of dynamic 
activity and are slowly approaching the positive pole of the magnetic 
and gravitational field. This Section therefore marks a place of extensive 
changes of conditions from the negative toward the positive mag- 
netic flux. Energraphs having strong lines here have remarkable 
qualities in some respect, as indicative of new and changeable condi- 
tions. This covers the lines from 171 to 202 approximately. 

FIFTH SECTION. 

33. This location is now well within the positive influence and 
as the angles of approach are not greatly changing in value, the qua- 
lity of unusual stability is assigned to this Section. This covers the 
lines from 202 to 232. 

SIXTH SECTION. 

34. The wires are now rapidly approaching the positive pole and 
the dynetures are rapidly increasing as the Sines of the angles of 
approach are rapidly decreasing in values. The positive pole is the 
point of highest dyneture, so Energraphs having many or strong lines 
here, incline people to be very careful and modest in their qualities as 
they are in a region of aproach to the high power of the positive pole. 

This covers the lines from 232 to 262 approximately. 

SEVENTH SECTION. 

35. The wires in the armature have now passed the positive pole 
or point of highest dyneture and the currents are rapidly decreasing, 
— the sines of the angles of leaving the center of positive flux are 
changing rapidly, — this section is therefore one of prominent changes 
of the reverse order of Section One. People having many and strong 
lines here are easily leaders and people of great balance and care in 
their activities. This space covers lines from 262 to 293. 

—31— 



ENERGRAPHICS 

EIGHTH SECTION. 
This Section is one of the more average stability and detail 
application, as the sines of the angles of recession are changing at 
a slow rate. Energraphs showing many or strong lines in this space 
are noted for their stability and genera) solidity. The quality of 
secretiveness, and nerves of more than the ordinary average, are also 
noted elements of this location, — covers lines from 298 to 323.5: 

NINTH SECTION 

37. This is the last Section of the positive magnetization as the 
wires are now approaching the Neutral Zone again, — the dynetures 
are rather weak and decreasing. People having strong lines here are 
particularly fortunate and successful, from the fact that they are 
satisfied "to leave well enough alone", and are not striving to accomp- 
lish much out of the conservative methods of slow and sure results. 
These people are fond of recreation hunting and fishing and outdoor 
exercise. Covers the lines from 323.5 t 354. 

TENTH SECTION 

38. The Neutral Zone has now been passed and the negative flux 
is being encountered, so this Section is one of leading qualities, of a 
subdued or slow going nature. Energraphs showing strong lines here 
are marked for conservative, coldly, cautions, secretive ability and 
great detailed capacity of long endurance and patience. It is a place 
of few changes and little activity. Covers lines from 354 to 365.25 
and on to line 19. The First of January falls at about 11 lines in 
this Section. 

SECTION ELEVEN 

39. This is another comparatively stable section of few changes 
with the negative flux slowly increasing. This location is however 
noted for intermittent and variable changes which ultimately lead to 
great results and reforms in methods. This is the inventors Section 
and place for strong lines of all kinds of unexpected peculiarities 
which are often remarkable. It is generally, a poor business Section. 
Covers lines from 19 to 49.56. 

TWELFTH SECTION 

40. This is the last Section before reaching the Negative pole, 
so rapid changes in dyneture are here manifest. It is exactly opposite 
to the Sixth Section and very much the reverse of that favorable place, 

—32— 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

— so that those having strong lines here are noted for unusual auda- 
city of conception and often of execution, — they are however always 
pretty well provided for by possible reason of great thinking power 
and great fear of sad conditions, as the dyneture is approaching the 
lowest negative location. This covers lines from 49.6 to line 80. 

IMPRTANT NOTE 

41. These descriptions are of course, only the most general out- 
lines of the conditions of the dynetures of the Twelve equal division 
of the circle. Now, — each of these Sections vary in time evaluations 
of coincidence with the motions of the Earth in the yearly orbit, com- 
bined with the diurnal motion. The positive pole may also be called 
the South Pole, and the line is the corresponding North Pole. This 
condition of the dyneture reverses as the Energraph is drawn for the 
places on the Earth in South Latitude, just as the climatic con- 
ditions do. 

NUMERICAL EVALUTIONS OF THE ENERGRAPH 

42. In the following Table of RELATIVE WEIGHTS is a system- 
atized empirical numerical value placed upon the basis of lines in the 
twelve Sections. These evaluations have been derived from extensive 
observations and comparisons with the records in biographical data. 
By combining these values in the table by a fixed empirical formulae 
or equation, a definite numerical calibration can be made for any 
Energraph. Of course, this is not ultimately absolutely true, but is a 
fair approximation as can be reached by the combination of all of the 
lines. In reality, no two currents ever combine any more than two 
electric currents of different voltages and amperages and frequency 
could be said to coincide or coalesce into one current. The empirical 
evaluation may be called a Nominal Evaluation, if the reader desires, 
but when made with care it leads to a quick comparable basis for re- 
garding or studying the Energraphs of different dates. In the 
calibration on the first Heat Engines from to 1850 a Nominal Horse 
Power was used, based upon the relative sizes ojf the cylinders. This 
answered very well and was not entirely displaced by the actual 
measuring of the Heat Energy till about 1880. The calibration given 
here for Vital Energy may be of something the same type, — the 
author has worked upon a definite thoroughly scientific system of 
Units for measuring Vital Energy but it is altogether too complicated 
for presentation in this primary work.

care by people of mathematical training. They are like the construc-

Electrical knowledge, so that any college graduate can work out his

own Nominal Evaluation by access to a good library and a little 
application f Spherical Trigonometry. For those of lesser mathema- 
tical knowledge they should avail themselves of the work of the 
Energraphist just the same as they do in availing themselves of the 
work of the Surveyor or Engineer or Architect. 

NUMERICAL RESULTS 

45. In the nominal calibration results from the formulae, if the 
amount is 1000 this may be called Medium or Average. 

If 2000 it is Good or slightly above the Average. 

If 3000 it is an Excellent showing. 

If 4000 it may be regarded as Superlative. 

If 5000 it is of the Extraordinary class. 

The high numerical value is not all of the basic truths about the 
Energraph. In studying the Energraph of a child, for instance it is 
desirable to gain manifold ideas: these are shown somewhat in the 
other items given on the page of the calibration in the back of the 
book (if there is one ordered). Thus, there will be found often a 
Remarkable Developed Triphase or a Temporary high indication which 
will obtain at some period of life. Another item is the SEQUENCE or 
order in which the lines follow each other in the direction of the 
motion of the hands of a clock or watch. In such an indication when 
the lines follow each other with the negative lines first, and end up 
with positive lines, it is an indication of bad results at first, but 
followed by good results and a final high attainment. If the reverse 
obtains it indicates final failure after successful commencement. The 
Sequence is often IMPORTANT. 

46. A MINUS sign before a letter on the Energraph is indicative 
that the travel of the Field center is slower than the motion of the 
Earth Armature: — in such cases, it is necessary to subtract 30 units 
from the tabular values, if the same are high in the table, that is 
80 to 100; or 20 if the values given are below 80. Such Fields have 
much less effect upon the Earth's dyneture, than if the fields are in 
rapid motion. 

It may be noted that Thousands of Energraphs have been calib- 
rated and the results compared with the results of personal observa- 
tions, and of biographical study, so they are of high value as they 
agree so closely with the actual results, as to be taken into most ear- 
nest consideration in the study of human characteristics. 



ENERGRAPHICS 
EVENTS 

47. EVENTS as connected with the study of Human Nature are 
those physiological manifestations in which the Elements of Vital 
which we are investigating are interested or form parts. Thus, a 
birth, a death, a marriage, a removal, a change in location on the 
surface of the Earth: in fact, any important change in any of the 
affairs in which a person is involved is an event. It was stated in 
paragraph 6 that events are functions of two dynetures, — these are; 
first the dyneture when the event takes place, and second, the primary 
dyneture of the persons involved, and illustrated by their Energraphs. 
Therefore, if we make two diagrams of these dyneture conditions, 
there will be relations between the two which we illustrate this con- 
nection. This is exactly what has now been done in thousands of 
instances: and in fact, herein lies the great proofs of the truths of 
this science. For instance, to take a very serious illustration, — if we 
contrast the diagram of the date of birth, of any person with that of 
the diagram of the date of death the evidence is conclusive, that 
there is a connection between these two conditions of force: this par- 
ticular idea can be followed out in the following chapter on the illus- 
trative Energraphs of a few widely known people, which have been 
selected from a large number of such diagrams. 

THE DOMINANT CURRENTS 

48. In every Energraph there are two or three lines which are 
more powerful, apparently, than the others. This is due to the fact 
that those Field centers occupied more prominent positions than the 
others at the time of birth; there are two of these that we will specify 
in this primary work. 

The first of these may be called the Personality Dominator and 
the other the Business or Success Dominator. 

These are determined by the Sections which certain lines fall 
in the circle; the Personality Dominator is the line which has the 
highest value in the Section which the I line falls in: we are not much 
concerned with this one in this book as the I lines are not used in the 
biographical illustrations given. (See Manual of Energraphir 

The Business or Success Dominator is the line which has the 
highest value in the Section in which the A line falls for a man: and 
usually for women, but sometimes the C line becomes the dominator 
for women. The value* can be seen in the Table given in paragraph 
43; there 100 denotes the Dominant line of each Section in the lists.

ILLUSTRATIVE ENER GRAPHS 

49. INTERPRETATION. The interpretation of an Energraph is 
of course, the difficult part of this study, — to commence, it is ne- 
cessary that the student reads over the general slight descriptions of 
the lines and the Sections, as given in the previous pages. For general 
ideas, the deductions are quite simple. 

The first Energraphs were made in the summer of 1900 and stu- 
died in their simple form: in 1906, the Dynamic Energraph was dis- 
covered, when noting the positions made by the travel of the Earth 
Armature in it's yearly orbit; and the scale is shown on the right side 
of each diagram; — a little later the moving part was attached, with 
the index pointer. 

This moving disc is called the DEVELOPMENT WHEEL as it 
automatically discerns the changing periods of stress which obtain 
when the different lines coincide in the diagrams. These ideas are 
clearly illustrated by the Figures 2 and 3. Thus, Figure 2 shows the 
pari of the Dynamic Energraph which revolves as cross lined to 
distinguish it from the center part which remains stationary. On the 
right of the Figure is the scale illustrating the motion of the Earth 
Armature on the days succeeding the date of birth: this scale is of 
course a measure of the changing position of the Earth in it's travel, 
and varies a little for different periods of the year. In Figure 2, are 
shown two lines A and F, as continuous across the center and the 
Development Wheel, and the pointer or Index stands at the of the 
scale. Now, Figure 3, shows the Development Wheel as moved or 
revolved with the top to the right, a distance equal to the distance 
between the two lines, so that in Figure 3, the end of the F line has 
passed around to COINCIDE with the center part of the A line: — at 
the same time the Index or pointer has moved to the number about 
24 on the scale. Now, this means that the F current in the person 
has moved to come across the A current at about the age of 24 years. 
The scale reads in years. Now, this same principle holds for all of the 
lines of the completed Energraph. If they are made for the day of 
birth only, each Energraph contains only Ten lines, — but if the exact 
time of day is known then there are Twelve lines. If the student will 
now read in Chapter III. a description of the meaning of the A and F 
lines it will be seen that A means, roughly speaking "An Administra- 
tive" Official action: the F line is the love and Fertility line, — 
so, if such a coincidence occurs between the age of 16 to 30 it generally 
means a Marriage, — if later in life, it means a birth of a child, or 
similiar happy event. The exact interpretation can only be inferred, 
of course, but by understanding the lines it is simple enough to derive 
fairly definite indications of all kinds, as the lines coincide.

50. The EXACT time in that year when events take plao 
pends on the dyneture of the year, — when one of the Fields during- 
that year crosses this same point as the coincidence, then the event 
will obtain. It must be remembered that the Development wheel is 
only an Indication, the actual executive factor is the Field at the time 
of the event. Sometimes the lines are not quite in exact coincidence, 
or the coincidence has been passed a little, before one of the executive 
Fields passes the point.

ENERGRAPH OF GENERAL U. S. GRANT. 

51. Figure 4 shows the dyneture diagram of the date of birth 
of General and twice President of the United States, Gen. U. S. Grant. 
Born April 27th, 1822. 

This Energraph is an exceedingly powerful one as it has the A, B, 
and D lines in close conduction, in exact Triphase to the terrific lines 
H, and K, also in close conduction. This element alone is a most de- 
cided one, as these five lines represent a very large percentage of the 
total dyneture indicators. In addition the lines F and C are in Tri- 
phase, and the lines G and E are in close Triphase; the Neutral of B 
to C is not so advantageous as the Triphases, and may be considered 
as one of the causes of the reticence to talking and speaking which 
was a noted peculiarity of this great man.

ENERGRAPHICS 

It is not purpose of this book to go extensively in to the bio- 
graphical records of the various Energraphs, as they are altogether 
too voluminous for presentation in a small volume. But, it is desired 
to show the remarkable coincidences which are illustrated by the 
travel of each one of the lines. It is practically impossible to bind 
the movable wheel in a book, so, it will be necessary for the reader to 
measure the travels of the outer rim of the circle, and on the scale, 
with a small pair of dividers, which can easily be done by those at 
all interested, or a small slip of paper cut to circular shape will do 
very nicely, and on which pencil marks can be made. 

In this Energraph the A and B and D lines are in the second Sec- 
tion, so the Business or Success Dominant Current is the F line: now, 
follow the travel of this line. It first makes coincidence with the O 
line at the age of eight years, — that year Gen. Grants father moved 
to a small village and became a merchant of the town, — this brought 
the young boy into much greater activity and better surrounding?, 
than previously. The next coincidence of the F line is at the age of 
26, when a coincidence occurs with the G line, this is the date of 
marriage. The next coincidence is with the B line at the age of 38, 
this indicates the troubles of the year 1860, and the commencement of 
the Civil War. The next is with the A line when the General had 
risen to the command of the Armies of the United States. The next 
coincidence is with the D line when he was elected to the Presidency. 
Another prominent indication of the travel of the lines is shown by 
the opposition of the A. B and D lines to the H and K lines, at the age 
of 63, as illustrated by the dotted positions of H and K in the lower 
part of the Figure; this marks the date of death in August 1885. 

The best, in fact the only thorough way, to note the indications of 
the development wheel is to get a biography of each person and 
follow the lines systematically. Such a process will furnish all the 
evidence desired about the wonderful indications of this science. 

The CALIBRATION given below the Figure is made from the 
equation given in paragraph 43. The Items of such estimates are, 
First, — The Permanent Evaluation: this is made up of the plus 
quantities less the minus factors of the equation, and indicates a grand 
average. The Maximum indicates the highest factors. In some Ener- 
graphs, a Temporary Maximum rises much higher than the permanent 
this was the case during the period of the Civil War, when the values 
of F greatly added to the Average. The SEQUENCE or order in 
which the letters come is also an item of importance as explained in a 
previous article in Chapter III.

Sequence G — E — B — H — K — A — D. Neutral of C to B 
and A is the only drawback to the unity of the advantageous positions; 
this was a serious drawback for the popularity of Gen. Grant, and 
caused him to be disliked by elderly people and perhaps caused the 
strange reticence he had to speaking in public. 

This Energraph is one the highest ever calculated, among thou- 
sands. The Sequence contains E — H and K, the most violent of the 
elements of the Dyneture, and indicates great Success after most 
strenuous conditions.

Mrs Julia Dent Grant, 

53. Born Jan. 26th, 1826. Wife of Gen. U. S. Grant. This Ener- 
gTaph is one of great power and natural advantages, as shown by the 
three strong Triphases and conjunctive combinations. 

There are two forceful Neutrals which are decidedly powerful but 
no detrimental oppositions. The Sequence of C. D. G. H. K. F. A. is 
also indicative of extensive trials and troubles which terminate fa- 
vorably by the fortunate lines of F and A. The conjunctive combina- 
tion of G H K F A falls in the Xth Section and is dominated 
by the conservative line B which was in the Illrd Section nearly 
Neutral to C and D, which had the effect of causing her to be some- 
wfliat undecided and backward in activity, and in acceptance of high 
honors which she could have gained by taking more interest in the 
affairs of society. The travel of the G line over H. K. F and A 
caused many trials in early life and marriage occured when G came 
to the A line at the age of 22. This A position was Neutral to E and 
caused her to dislike the conditions of Army life, and is also indicative 
of troubles and oppositions in her own family to her marrying an ar- 
my officer; but the Triphase of B to A overcome all opposition. The 
dominant line B caused strongly conservative powers of judgement 
and made her a valuable adviser to her too active husband, who had 
the G and F lines in active and changeable locations. (See Figure 4). 

It must be noted that the C and D lines are in Triphase to the 
ADB conjuction in Figure 4, and G in 5, close to positions of H and K 
in 4. In all cases of happy marriage the two respective Energraphs 
have features of similarity, and alliance, — and the reverse is also 
the case, in Energraphs of separations and divorces.

Sequence G — C — H — K — D — F — A. This is a most 
remarkable coincidence and would have led to much higher results if 
the Dominant Element B had not been a Negative Conservative and a 
minus sign before it at that. Conservative powers are often the basis 
of high elevations, and perhaps these were enormously valuable as off 
sets to the terrific intensity of the G, E, and K qualities of her hus- 
band. Things undone are often more beneficial than too much activity.

MRS HARRIET BEECHER STOWE 

55. This Energraph is a very peculiar one as indicated by the 
terrific oppositions of F G D A to H E K B, but the latter line* were 
all preceeded by the minus signs, and were accordingly very weak. 
These oppositions indicate violently strong dislikes or clashes and a 
tendency'to go to extremes. They are also indicative of much ill 
health, which can be well verified by a look into her biography. There 
is a strong Triphase of E to C in conjuction with 0, which gave a great 
desire for expression of opinion particularly in public and through the 
press. At one time she called at the White House in Washington to 
see President Lincoln, — he came out to meet her in the reception 
room and said "So, you are the little woman who caused this great 
war" (Civil War, 1861 to 1865.) There is another very strong Triphase 
of a Temporary nature, which occurred at the age of 40 — 41, when 
she wrote the story "Uncle Toms Cabin", which is known almost where, 
ever the English language is spoken. This book made Mrs Stowe's 
reputation as an authoress of the first class. Millions of copies of it 
were sold, and it is still to be found in all libraries of any size as a 
classic record of the Days of slavery. It is however, a gross mis- 
representation of the better elements of the South, although perhaps 
a sad story of some of the evils of those unhappy days. Mrs Stowe 
died in 1896 at the advanced age of 85. When the A line came 
exactly Neutral to the B line.

PROF. CALVIN E. STOWE 

57. Husband of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Born April 6th, 1802. 
This Energraph shows excellent lines with great oppositions. A in 
conduction with F, in Triphase to B and D, this is a small fortune in 
itself, — but the E line is in exact opposition to the B and D lines, — 
causing loss of executive power, — and another strong opposition of 
H and 0. 

Marriage obtained when the G line came to the F line at the age 
of 35, — but E came to the line about the same time, which indi- 
cates that the marriage was one of great deliberation and much 
thought and perhaps opposition: Mrs Stowe probably did a large part 
of the courting. Prof Stowe was a man of high aspirations with 
strong drawbacks to his executive powers making it difficult for him 
to bring affairs to a final focus. By the development travel of A 
and F over the place of F at the ages of 40 to 45, two children were 
born and very happy family affairs resulted. Prof Stowe was a man 
of great patience shown by the conjuction of the B and D lines in 
triphase to A and F. He lived to an old age of 83 when C came to 
the coincidence with B. By comparing the two Figures 6 and 7, we 
find that the G line in 6 falls on the C line of 7, and the C line in 6 
on the places of A and F in 7. Which is a very fortunate combination 
for family and social happiness.

59. This Energraph shows the dyneture at the date of birth of 
the famous Railroad builder and Financier Jay Gould. Born May 
27th, 1836. 

The strong Double Triphase of G, B, C and H is a most fortunate 
combination; A is in the III Section and G the Dominant line is also 
in it's own Section III.: and in Sub Triphase to E, which is in oppo- 
sition to B — C. 

This remarkable man started in life as a poor boy; by the time 
he was 20 he had educated himself and qualified as a surveyer. He 
made a survey of one of the Counties of Southern New York State and 
the maps he sold to the State for a neat sum of $1500; — with this 
small sum he entered into partnership in a tannery, — which he sold 
in a few years for upwards of $40,000. With this, he went to New- 
York City and commenced as a promotor, financier, and builder of 
railroads. He died at the early age of 57, and left some $75,000,000. 
of wealth which he had accumulated in about 25 years in that 
business. 

The Double Triphase is found only in Energraphs of very re- 
markable people in some particulars; and in itself is a mark of supe- 
riority. Even with the strong opposition of E, this is a strong dia- 
gram, — better for money making, than for keeping it. G line is the 
mark of shrewdness and quick comprehension and when the dominant 
line is powerful, in the process of wealth getting. The conduction of 
F and D is also very fortunate as it falls is Section IV, where D is 
very strong. At 57 the evil Nervous line H came to the place of the 
E line, in opposition to B and C.

MISS FRANCES E. WILLARD. 

59. Born September 28th, 1839. This EnergTaph is an exeeding- 
ly fortunate one in many respects and decidedly the reverse in others. 
The Dominant line is minus F in conjuction with D in the VII Section; 
and E in conjuction with B in Tri phase to the O line; A is in Tri phase 
to a minus K, and A is in opposition to in Neutral to C: and C in 
Triphase to F and D; and G in opposition to a minus H. The Sequence 
of G A F D, is a fortunate one for financial results; but the opposi- 
tion of O and H, Neutral to C was a sad affliction in the social and 
happiness elements of life, and the reason that she was not married, 
without which would have obtained in the 20th year when A came to 
the coincidence with D; or later when G came to the conjunction with 
F at about her 26th year. The biographical records also show that 
she had strong friendships at those periods, but she was too much 
involved in business prospects to listen to the dictates of the affairs 
of the heart, (also opposite H, Neutral to C.) The Neutral of C 
to both A and is probably an additional cause of this. An opposi- 
tion or Neutral of C is bad for the marriage instinct? or opportunities. 
The triphases of A to K, and B to caused her to be friendly to 
strange ideas and people and the conjuction of F and D made her 
philantropic and of great heart toward the unfortunate. 

Altogether the EnergTaph is a sad one for herself, but a beneficial 
one to many others. She was one of the founders of the Womans 
Christian Temperance Association and at her death in 1896 she 
bequeathed considerable money to hospitals and similiar institutions.

date of birth of Gen. George A. Custer, U. S. Army; the hero and 
victim of the noted Custer massacre, one of the last of the efforts of 
the Indians. The strong combination of A, B, C, in close Triphase to 
O, and the Triphase of D to H, make a powerful showing, although 
the conjunction of B close to A is detrimental to successful activity, — 
and the strong Neutral of D to K is highly indicative of assassination 
or violent death; similar indication are prominent in the Energraphs 
of the martyred Presidents of the U. S.; Lincoln, Garfield and 
McKinley. 

The travel of the development wheel is shown on the outer edge 
of the diagram, — the D line of the wheel had just passed the A, B, 
and C lines showing recent promotion at the time just preceeding the 
massacre, when Custer had been advanced in rank and command: at 
the time of sad event A, B, and C were in coincidence with the violent 
E line of bravery and fearlessness, and G advanced to the exact coin- 
cidence with K in Neutral to H. 

On the lower part of the diagram is given some of the dyneture 
lines for the date of the massacre, June 25th, 1876. At that time G 
was in opposition to C, A, B,: A was in opposition to G; E was in 
opposition to its own place, and the unexpected H with C, in opposition 
to the sinister K. A more expressive condition could hardly be indi- 
cated than was the dyneture showing on that fateful day. Cu 
full of brave confidence, but entirely ignorant of the terrific condition 
of the face of Nature at the time of the combat.

ger Jennie Lind, who started life as a street singer and became the 
leader and one of the first prima donnas in the history of music. She 
was born in Stockholm, on October 6th, 1810. 

The Dominant line is F. from the fact that A is in the seventh 
Section, — and F is in conjunction with K and B and in Triphase to O. 
There is also a Double Triphase of A, C, and D. which is a most favo- 
able indication of high public popularity: F. K, and B are in close 
opposition to D and Neutral to the violent E. This is not good but the 
powerful Double Triphase was sufficient to over balance it; however, 
strenuous conditions must have frequently qassailed her endeavors; 
but a Triphase to any opposition greatly relieves the detrimental in- 
fluences. 

The travel of the F line over the K, and B, in childhood are indi- 
cations of a sad start in life, and she probably did not commence to 
succeed much until the A line coincided with the G line; when some 
official or powerful patron assisted her to educational influences. The 
travel of the F line over C, which is in the Double Triphase of A and 
D, is what developed an enormous Temporary Triphase of creat value. 
She died at the advanced age of 75 when H and G came to the 
coincidence with C; K F and B to the opposition of E, as shown by the 
dotted line, and D to the coincidence with E, in opposition thereto. A 
Double Triphase of A and C and D has remarkable strength to with- 
stand the violent oppopitions of even E and B.

FIGURE 12. 

65. This Energraph shows the dyneture at the date of birth of 
George Westinghouse, the famous inventor and manufacturer, who 
was bom on October 6th 1846. The PERSONALITY Dominant line is 
the D line in close Triphase to the strenuous combination of E G and 
A, and Subtriphase to H which is in close opposition to A and G. This 
D line is in Section III which is controlled by G, which is in conjunction 
with A and E, showing a strong tendency to money making through 
the E lines of business. The BUSINESS or SUCCESS Dominant line 
is F in the Section VI, Which is also under the control of G. The 
Westinghouse Companies are now capitalized at $120,000,000. 

The travel of the F line makes a coincidence with the E line at 
the early age of 18 or 19, when he became an Engineer Officer in the 
U. S. Navy; later F came to coincidance with A and G which are in- 
dicative of marriage, and strenuous endeavors toward money making 
through mechanical genius. His first success came when A and G 
made the Temporary Triphase of K and B, indicative of great per- 
serverence and hard work. The Triphase of C to F gave a strong 
assistance in all public matters, and assisted his inventions to became 
•f wide public utility. Mr. Westinghouse was not a strong man phy- 
sically, although he probably thought he was, as the opposition of A 
and G to H, and O, are strong draw backs to the nervous system, — 
the violent support of E to the A and F and G combination, however, 
held him to close labor for many years. Death occurred in his 68th 
year when D made the opposition to K and B. which is al tive 

of sudden death, which obtained from heart disease.

beyond, — it closed a terrific Temporary Triphase of A — G — E — 
K — B — C — D — , This was the time he perfected the Air Brake 
invention, at the age of 42 or 43. The position of C is not known 
exactly, but was somewhere within the limits marked. C moves from 
12 to 16 lines a day, so unless the exact time of birth is known, it can 
not be located exactly.

REMARKS 

67. About the serious study of "The Science of Biography". 

The ages of moral suasion and of puritanical disciplinary educa- 
tion in the vast process of evolutionary develment of the human race, 
are drawing to a close. Hell-fire and eternal damnation and the 
drawn swords of John Knox, no longer cause the intelligent elements 
of the people to stand aghast and tremble at the promised terrors of 
eternity. The Principles of "The Origin of Species" have been pre- 
sented by Darwin, — The Laws of Comparative Anatomy and Descent 
of Man have been well outlined by Cuvier, Haekel, Draper, Buckle, 
Huxley, Spencer and a host of others: — the laws of Heredity have 
been fairly exploited by Galton, Mendel, Burbank, and a few others: — 
is it not time that the cruel but effective process of "The Survival of 
the Fittest" be assisted by the infantile efforts of man himself? Why 
should not education and anesthetics control the selection of worthy 
specimens of the human race to enherit the magnificent Earth, without 
the horrible process of waiting until the "Visiting the sins of the 
Fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations" com- 
pletes the natural process ? 

Does the gardner cultivate and train thistles and thorns to grow 
figs and apples? "Where is the man who can change his stature by 
one cubit" was a question asked some 1900 years ago, and the world 
is still looking for the man. Nearly every school teacher teaches the 
children that all people are free and equal and leads them to think 
that they are all going to be presidents and millionaires. Why should 
such Santa Claus stories still prevail, when we all know that there is 
no basis for such myths? 

How long, — not Oh! Lord!, — but, Oh! common sense and 
EDUCATION must the age of myths, superstitions and ignorance last, 
to afflict the beautiful face of civilization? Morality and religious 
tendencies are but excellent elements of Natural Laws and not the 
master factors of human life. 

Today in every nation and clime where civilization has hoisted it'* 
flag, the country is dotted with asylums, alms-houses, hospitals for 
incurables, and penetentiaries, — vast hives of human misery filled 
with sufferers only wishing to die. For ten thousand generations or 
more, Laws and Lawyers, Remedies and Doctors, Priests and Preach-

ers, and Philosophers and Philosophies have attempted to control man 
to act by wishes or will of the few, and now the criminal instincts are 
stronger than ever before as denoted by records of crimes and crimi- 
nals. Why not determine which ones are to be cripples, insane people, 
consumptives, lepers, degenerates and criminals in advance, and exter- 
minate them by painless processes, before they reach the age of in- 
telligence and independence? Appropriate laws could control such a 
process to be determined by a few generations of study along the lines 
of The Science of Biography which would determine the proper posi- 
tion which every person holds in natural laws, from a demonstrable 
scientific status, and a large part of all this misery could be avoided, 
to the infinite mercy of all future generations of mankind: such, is 
one of the large ideas to be cultivated by the study of this science. 
Energraphics can fix a permanent scientific basis for the actual prac- 
tice of Eugenics on a definite scale not dependent on the hums and 
haws of opinions of students of abstract theories. 

But, for the individual, — what use is this science? Is there a 
living human being who does not want to know about his or her own 
position in the vast scheme of nature and natural law ? If there lives 
a man or woman with soul so dead from the belief of the myths of the 
ancients or the perversion of his own individuality, the sooner his kind 
be relegated to the wilds of Mexico, the better it will be for the intel- 
ligent people of modern life. There are a whole lot of people who do 
not belive in LUCK, they are the ones who think they are running this 
Earth and changing it's 18.4 miles per second velocity, whenever it 
may be necessary, or they think it will be more suited to their own 
schemes. No one attempts to advise such people. But the every day 
honest striving good citizen who knows that there is an unknown fact- 
or in human nature which is usually roughly called LUCK, which 
changes the tide of circumstance at times, without consulation with 
the wise heads, — every one of such people should understand his own 
place in the world and improve the opportunities when in good accord 
with the positive factors of the dyneture, and be careful of the times 
when they are not.

There is no reason why the Dynamic Energraph should not be 
understood just as the thermometer is understood: any one tan read 
the indications of the thermometer, and be wise enough to wear an 
overcoat when the temperature is in the vicinity of the point. 
Every one should be able to see when the B. E. II. or K currents of 
Energy affects their prospects, health, or vitality. 

Every young man and particularly every young woman wants 
to know when important changes are to occur in their life career. 
Well, the Dyneture is the key to the proposition, with unequivocal 
certainty, — the interpretations are not so simple quite as the ther- 
mometer, but after the important events have passed one can see how 
exactly how the interpretations should have been made. A little 
study will soon enable any student to tell how the time ahead appears 
just as a navigator can know how the land lays a few miles from the 
horizon, when he looks at his charts. 

Any daily paper could publish the Dyneture by the numbers; — 
thus, — Dyneture for June 1st, 1915. A 151B174C20D7^K! 1 5 M23G- 
174H35X20I, — S. T. 4h. 35m. By this means any person could keep 
track when any of the numbers was the same as in their Energraph 
and thereby note the effects as obtain in physical or other conditions. 
When the D line comes to the A place in your Energraph, the fortu- 
nate conditions surrounding you will cause your attention; again when 
the B line comes to the A place you will feel that, by sickness or 
backward feelings. The truth is we should keep time by all of the 
Field Magnets and not by one alone. There are nine of the fields in 
the Solar system, and we must keep track of them all, sooner or later 
because the condition of Energy is The important thing to know about 
the time factor of b'fe, — and the TIME FACTOR is the most impor- 
tant element of life. 

Any person who will keep track of the Dyneture for a few months 
will encounter exceedingly valuable information not to be obtained 
elsewhere. 

It has been only a few years since the electric terms of Voltage 
and Amperage were known by the public: but, now they are found in 
every newspaper as common as usual technical words. The Dyneture 
is simply the voltage and amperage of the field of force we live in. 
and should be well understood by every reader, and can be applied 
by every one who has a Dynamic Energraph. 



THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

Another great opportunity to practically utilize the knowledge of 
the dyneture is in regard to people, — your friends, relatives, 
children, and in business ways in all directions. In fact, if you have 
the Energraph of any person you have an absolute keynote to that 
persons peculiarities: by comparing the relative positions with those 
of your own Energraph you can tell exactly what to expect at all 
times, — there is a great business factor here. 

Mothers should watch the dyneture of the time in the Energraphs 
of the children, as a warning about sickness, accidents, dangers of all 
kinds. Lovers who marry when the E of the man's Energraph is on 
the F line of the woman's Energraph can expect to bring up in the 
general condition of family unhappiness after a few months of pas- 
sionate honeymoon. Lovers with the dominant forces of E and F in 
the same places in the respective Energraphs are doomed to quarrel 
sooner or later: such alliances should be avoided. 

In every direction of human study the Energraph is a source of 
information not to be obtained elsewhere, and such knowledge should 
be as common and useful as any kind of ordinary information. En- 
ergraphics should form a branch of instruction in the Department of 
Physics and Chemistry of every college, and particularly every Medi- 
cal School in the country. 

The scientific age of the past few decades has developed strange 
advances in many directions, but there is no direction which could be 
made more advantageous to the world in general than a widely 
diffused knowledge of The Science of Biography. 

KOW TO TELL ABOUT IMPORTANT EVENTS 

68. All of the Important Events of life occur in accordance with 
the conditions of the Dyneture: now remember this, and TEST it up in 
the events of your past life, by your DYNAMIC ENERGRAPH. The 
reader can understand that this is not advertising bluff or misrepre- 
sentation of any kind: the DYNETURE of the Earth causes the brain 
to become excited and then we go ahead and accomplish results de- 
pendent upon the prevailing dynetures of the times when we are 
working at our designs. BUT, you must remember also, that there are 
nine large currents of Energy to be reckoned with. Some of these 
will help you, — these are called the Positives and are the lines 
A, C, D, and F; then there are the Negatives, they will oppose your 
endeavors, — these are B, E, H, and K, usually they retard or stop- 

—61— 



i:\KRGRAPHICS 

your chance in a thousand different ways; E and K often by over 
doing things, — too much of a hurry to accomplish our ends. G is a 
double current, sometimes positive and sometimes the reverse. Now, 
move the pointer of the Development wheel till two lines coincide, — 
then read what year that happens in on the scale of years. The events 
of t ■ are in accord with the characters of the lines which 

coincide. THIS I IHABLY TRUE. BUT, it is difficult to see 

these always in advance: but it is easily seen after the events happen. 
The reason for this is equally certain. We look at affairs through the 
cxi-tint? dyneture, so we can not see things the way they are under 
another dyneture, but when that dyneture obtains, we can then easily 
see exactly how the indications were plain enough. 

For illustration, One of the important events of all young people's 
lives is, — When shall I get married? Now, turn the development 
wheel till the first COINCIDENCE of lines occurs after you are 18 
years old, — then, if the lines are the A and F lines you can rest 
asured that you will be in love that year marked by the coincidence. 
Now, if one of the Negatives does not come to that place or in 
opposition thereto, MARRIAGE is certain. Look at the Energraph of 
Gen. Grant, Figure 4. In this the F line came to the coincidence with 
the G line at the age of 26, and he was married in August 1848. Now 
look at Figure 5. the Energraph of Mrs Grant, — in her 22nd year 
the G line came to coincidence with the A line, and the marriage came 
about, although the E line was in Neutral to the A line, which indi- 
cates violent opposition. Now, read the biography of Gen. Grant and 
see what difficulties were over come. Any person can tell about such 
important events if they observe the indications carefully enough. 
Sometimes there are both Positive and Negative indications at the 
same lime so that it is difficult to say which are the more powerful, 
but after the events take place, it is easily seen what the indications 
really were. 

Do not put too much confidence in your conclusions about the 
till you have tested your observation powers a few times, because 
wry simple to OVERLOOK some of the lines or relative posi- 
tions.

THE SCIENCE OF BIOGRAPHY 

A great many people think that they can force things to go their 
way if tihey work hard enough; — well, you can try your luck opposing 
an electric current any time you wish by taking hold of a live wire in 
an electric circuit. On the other hand, there may be good lines coming 
in force when affairs look dark that one does not see at a glance. The 
truth of it is that the lines are often pretty near a balance, and by 
taking advantage of all incidents, the result can be made favorable, 
when the indications are apparently in a very negative shape. Where 
there is life there is hope, some wise man has said, — but he did not 
know why that was so. Now, we not only know that its so, but we 
know why it is so. Too much confidence, however is often worse than 
a little caution. The best motto in this age of intelligence is to use 
all of the knowledge you can get and work in coincidence with the 
existing dyneture and SUCCESS is certain. 



RECORDS 

Make it a distinct duty to take this book out on EACH BIRTH- 
DAY and write some records of the events of the past year. Make 
records of births, deaths, marriages, sicknesses, parties, removals, 
associations, items of interest about schools or business, and changes 
of a decided nature, and include any good stories in which the actors 
are of the family or of pleasure parties, giving names of those con- 
cerned. Attach photographs, snapshots, cuts from newspapers and 
such relevant matter as may be of interest. 

If the book is bought for a child or baby the parents can write it 
up until the child is old enough to take charge of it, and then the 
child should be taught to follow up the same principle. You can AL- 
WAYS rest sure that some day somebody will be exceedingly glad 
that you took an interest in this little book. 

If you get this book filled up write to the Company and get 
another or one in blank throughout. 

Energraphs may be ordered of the Company at any time at the 
Price of $2. for the small size or for the 8x11 inch size. The large 
size 20 inches in diameter at $20.
